It is gripping, well acted and beautifully written. Most of all, its multiple layers of mystery should keep viewers coming back for more, week after week.
The thriller created by Martin Gero can seem overly intricate at times, but the conspiracy doesn’t get in the way of the show’s early momentum. Where it goes from here is definitely worth checking out.
Why watch a show this silly? In part because Alexander is able to make us empathize with Jane's emotional upheaval while still creating a heroine who is believably feisty and capable.
The leads are fine, but the amount of disbelief that must be suspended for an anonymous woman with hinky body art to become an adjunct FBI agent beggars belief.
The mythology feels like mystery for its own sake, and even the characters on the show start wondering why whoever inked up Jane didn't just call the FBI anonymously.
From the beginning, dialogue is overdone and laughable. I don’t demand realism from a show about a tattooed naked woman dropped in Times Square, but there’s a line where it gets ridiculous instead of entertaining and Blindspot crosses it early and often.
season 3 is where this show falls apart. Sigh this love crap with jane and CIA Agent Keaton that just happened out of nowhere with zero build up and it's the same guy that literally tortured her is now suddenly both of them are madly in love with each other having feelings for each other after hating each other for a full 2nd season. it makes no sense. it took me out of the show bcuz the show has gotten lazy with attention to details.
then the jekyll and hyde subplot when jane starts talking in third person by calling herself remi the story from season 1 - 2 when from very beginning went from the most believable and convincing to contrived and convoluted like what the hell happened?? there was so much attention to detail. this show is still better than alias that show fell apart in a matter of 4 episodes in the first season. ths show could've been one of the greatest bcuz of how realistic it was from the first 2 seasons. i love the mysterious but the third season 3-5 is what killed the show. they clearly ran out of ideas to keep the show story compelling. what a waste **** cast, a great concept, and waste of those 2 epic seasons. season 4 was like a jason bourne wannabe mix with jekyll and hyde with horror elements it's like the writer forgot what they wanted the show to be. also casting bill nye the science guy in this show, i feel like it's nostalgia bait.
(An update to my original review)
Season 1: 10
Season 2: 10
Season 3: 7
Season 4: 3
The show continues to repeat the same plots as the previous seasons more and more often, they do special gimmicky comedic episodes that are out of touch with what the show used to be, or for the sake of giving "FANSERVICE"
I almost always dread episodes when Jaimie Alexander injures herself and can't do anything, because they always replace it with some stupid filler episode, So far, season 4 had *one* interesting thing in it for me, and the hunt for this stem cell cure because Jane would die otherwise. I also dislike this Kurt Weller romance plot, Jane IMO has always been a lone wolf.
Someone else pointed out that Sullivan can't act, and I'd agree.
I think I hate him for his character's vocal mannersms, every line he has is broken up like he says 5 words, stops, then says another 5 words, yells a bit about something, says I love you, then *bang bang boom boom pow*.
------
A great show with some logic problems.
The timeline between solving a tattoo and stopping the attack related to it is not realistic, unless the software that cracks the tattoos is compromised.
And now that "Jane" knows her name, everybody still calls her "Jane". I'm baffled as to why, is it just so casual viewers can keep track of characters or something?
The series eventually turnned into a marvels comic book. A silly series full of Fantasy garbage. A terrible series of FBI stories coming out from walt Disney!
Terrible downfall of the series. Not worth your while to watch.
Season 1 & 2 were good but after that it went downhill just terrible it feels like they rushed it they could have done 10x better the good guys always win with a little of a fight just very predictable roman and remi should have reconnected just really upset i wasted my time on this show
